Details to follow (hint: It won't actually be all 500 miles) but I'm sure you can probably guess this will be an IndyCar special around the famous Brickyard. Draft and pass your way to victory lane.

One night, one off event, to hopefully pave the way for an open wheel championship from yours truly down the line.

Plans are afoot for the next Sunday night championship run by someone else after the Endurance Cup is over so think of this as a Milky Way between championships.

Pls sign up if you're up for an evening of oval hilarity, I will edit and add more rules later.

Rules:

* Fixed spec, fixed setup - you are free to choose from either the modern day Chevrolet or Honda IndyCars (exact model names to follow) and paint them as you see fit if you so wish (you may of course use the default paint schemes also), but their setups will be locked to default. Anyone flouting this rule will be immediately disqualified with no appeal.

* 2 lap qualifying session (cars set to ghost, one from standing, one hot)

* Rolling start - do NOT shift higher than 2nd gear on the formation lap at any time. Stay in formation around all 4 corners and within a reasonable distance of each other. As soon as the lead driver is around the final corner and straight, the race is considered to be live and all drivers are free to "go". The lead driver will need to call when he is going, although this is not the responsibility of those behind him should he not be quick enough to accelerate once he hits the back straight.

If voice chat is fixed we will use a VSC system for accidents (to be explained)

If voice chat is still broken, rules on accidents tbd

* Deliberate or continual accident instigation will result in an steward's investigation and possible disqualification from the race on conclusion. Using any camera angle is not an acceptable excuse for causing an accident - in oval racing being observant of your surroundings is absolutely key.
